R for Rarog. In Slavic mythology (in particular Ukrainian, Czech and Slovak), the Raróg (Russian: Papor) or Raroh is a fire demon, often depicted as a fiery falcon. In Czech folklore, a raroh can hatch from an egg that was incubated on a stove for nine days and nights, and can appear either as a fiery falcon or a dragon. In Polish folklore, the rarog is a tiny bird that can be held in a pocket, and can bring people happiness.
Woohoo! Good afternoon people, and do I have good news from the home front! My grandson came to spend the day with me and helped me clean a couple of things:
1. My laptop
2. My floors
That may not seem a big deal to anyone else, but it makes my heat sing! Only the heart, you wouldn’t want to hear the real thing, believe me. Opening the blinds this morning I noticed my sparkling clean floors, gorgeous….after snow, mud and slush tracked over them by the wheels lately, those gray trails have disappeared. Cool!

Q for Quetzalcoatl, a deity in Aztec culture and literature. Among the Aztecs, it was related to wind, Venus, Sun, merchants, arts, crafts, knowledge, and learning. It was also the patron god of the Aztec priesthood.
How many revolutions this time, she thought to herself as she spun the ring again. It was off her finger permanently now, no longer resting proudly as a reminder she was married. Only four? That’s more than the number of years we were together.

I see visions of yesteryear
Some are newer, some old
Full mind
Some pictures remind me of fear
Regret of actions bold
Now bind
Tranquility is felt sometimes
Feelings seem strong then, plain
Want free
Life happens and pretend it’s fine
Strive for the even plane
Achieved
P for Pegasus, one of the best mythical creatures! He’s a winged divine stallion, usually depicted as pure white in color, in Greek mythology. He was sired by Poseidon, who presided over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses. Greco Roman poets wrote about his ascent to heaven after his birth and his obeisance to Zeus, king of the gods, and instructed him to bring lightning and thunder from Olympus.
Story behind Smoke on the Water:
When Frank Zappa and The Mothers took to the stage they began to perform their irreverent and intellectual music. Playful and poised, the set was a magical ride until the moment a deranged fan moved through the crowd and fired a flare gun at the band.
The venue’s heating system then exploded, starting a fire which would sadly leave several fans injured, the band’s equipment destroyed, and the venue in smouldering ruins. Though the injuries suffered by fans were tragic, it could have been so much worse. Yet it also saw the birth of one of the most famous songs ever written, Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke on the Water’. The group were in Montreux ready to record their new album at the venue when the horrific events occurred.
